Really? OEM in what terms? Machine built? I have plenty of OEM wheels from Mavic, Fulcrum, Ritchey and ALEX that were perfect out of the box or on the bike.
Now my ALEX wheels form BD need some really good truing when I bought my Dawes.
On my wifes Specialized, the ALEX wheel are perfect from day one!
